Point Lookout

Point Lookout is on the north-east point of North Stradbroke Island and is the island's social hub. There is a great vibe and atmosphere along the strip of restaurants and cafes with some of the best views in the world!

You will be mesmerised with the impressive natural environment, including kilometres of surf beach and towering rocky headlands. The impressive North Gorge walk at Point Lookout is one of the best land-based vantage point in Australia to watch dolphins, turtles, manta rays and migrating humpback whales (June to November).

Relax on one of the patrolled beaches, go four wheel driving, explore some of the best dive sites or surf some of the best breaks in the world. Once you have had enough of surf, sun and sand, browse the boutique stores, book in for some pampering at a day spa or dine out overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

There's a wide range of accommodation at the Point - from beachside camping, backpacker's lodge and bed and breakfasts to luxury units and stunning holiday homes, many with private whale-watching towers.
